The problem has never been or ever will be the robots. The problem has always been and will be the growth of the welfare state and the concentration of money and power in fewer and fewer hands.

Our system depends...more or less...on how to allocate the distribution of goods and services. Money and capitalism is our current state and trade tends to use that as the exchange.

Robots would be a jump back to a slave culture. But the slaves would no longer be human. The change to a system where that is the norm will involve great pain, and democracy as libertarians describe so well, is two wolves and a sheep deciding on what is for supper.

What does great pain mean? Don’t know, and as every sci fi writer knows, ten or twenty years from now, if sci fi is still relevant, that is a good run. Reality tends to be a little slower.

The left is made up of the evil, and the evil enablers who think they’re going good.

You can’t tell me that those in power don’t know the harm, waste, fraud, and abuse that goes on in all their “redistribution” programs.

And you can’t tell me they don’t know that they’re intentionally deceiving their supporters into believing they are “doing good” and therefore they are “good people” for supporting those who are purportedly “helping” people.
